Repeat Process
Просмотров 2 тыс.День назад
“I am sitting in a room” by Alvin Lucier consists of the composer reading a description of the piece itself. This recording is then played back and re-recorded in the same room repeatedly, until only the resonances of the room can be heard. You can do the same in a DAW, but it's tiresome to have to repeat the same steps over and over. Can this be automated? 00:00 Intro 01:34 Concept and Conside...

Frap Tools Fumana Part 6: Traditional Filter Emulation
Просмотров 296Месяц назад
The Fumana has sixteen band pass filters, which used together can have the same function as a traditional low or high pass filter. But moving the sliders around isn’t very practical for the kind of modulation we usually expect to use with a filter. How can this be made more dynamic? 00:00 Intro 00:39 Concept 02:41 First try 03:35 MIDI control 07:04 External audio control 10:53 Odd and even outp...

nice to see you're showing some cool stuff for the peeps, grainy.
Hey cylob
This is wild sounding. Very cool process, makes me want to learn SuperCollider!
niceeeee
this is nearly as good as your Absynth patches
so awesome
the best!!!
this is everything
*ATMOS IS UNREAL*
big fan of your work! now discovering your videos after knowing your music is incredible. so many interesting ideas and sounds with clear thoughts and documentation. thank you!
what about taking an impulse response of the spring reverb and putting 6 convolvers onto your track?
they made a whole video about all the possible uses for this and even give one possible answer to your question in the first few minutes with the option to physically manipulate the springs while recording. but to answer differently: convolution can reproduce better conventional drippy spring reverbs than any other digital tech i’ve heard, but is incapable of the non-linearities that will accumulate over multiple passes thru the same spring driver + recovery amplifier circuits, on top of any weirdness from the spring existing in real space. like how modern guitar amp modelers typically have some kind of algorithmic pre+power amp modeling that can handle reproducing all the DIRT that’s central to guitar, and IR-based cabinet simulation. but even there-IR cabs sound perfect used as intended, but if you were to put a sound through the same IR 20 times, it’s not going to be able to factor in the chaos of physical reality as those characteristics of the cone+ cabinet + room + mic getting multiplied rather than digitally convolution based on a single snapshot copy-pasted. or even a bunch of separately recorded IRs of the same setup.
Beautiful. It reminded me of the 3cd set, “OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music,” possibly where I first heard Lucier (and many others) which I hadn’t thought of in maybe 15+ years. Hearing the old techniques explained anew with updated technology feels like witnessing the proverbial torch being passed between generations. Thank you for sharing! ⚡✨💖✨⚡
Wowsers! Would you share the supercollider file? :) That would be wonderful!
Nice
Yes it is possible with certain gear
wow i just asked myself this exact question a few days ago and now i get this recommended to me higher forces are listening!!
What a sophisticated way to make a incoherent muffled mush of a sound 👏🏼
Agreed! 😅 Next time I'll just make a recording through a closed door.
Amazing results! I Would love to try the Cylob System software 💜💥👾 Cylob is the best!
Pretty sick
really brilliant exploration of technical process as compositional technique. will be sharing this with my students!
👍
Sick. Never tried this
I’ve listened to your music and have been a fan for many many years from Rephlex days. It’s really cool to finally see your music production processes!
me too🎉
Chris, it would be great if you posted videos of your walks, like you did a long time ago.
Hello cylob, will you be releasing a new album or EP??
At some point I guess 🙂
@@cylobsonicresearch yay I'm excited 😁
7:22 once again, the simplest thing but also sneaky as eff. thanks for making the effort to share all this!!
All the Lego blocks have already been invented, but not all the things you can make with them! 🙂
@@cylobsonicresearch Amen to that.
Big up the don dada Alvin Lucier!
Cylob iz da best ❤
Certified, mad respect for him
We need a new Kinesthesia release🙏🏻
OK 😅
ty legend
gerne!
AMAZING! 💜 I wonder if this is the same kind of speech-Acid function found in the Cylob System program that Flashbulb was mentioned.
No. You can see the interface for that in this video: ruclips.net/video/oOiUZx2BPHs/видео.html I just added the ability to send the phoneme type to the Fumana patch in order to sequence the bands. The original vocal synthesis controlled by that interface is based on a LPF and two BPFs and can be heard on the album "Formant Potaton".
melodyne is so fun
y
would love to see more track evolution of the i will cross any bridge tracks
OK, noted.
holy fuck, cylob does synth tutorials???????
I can barely believe it myself! 😅
Cylob sir, honestly, thank you for existing and doing what you do It’s so inspiring
I guess you have done the same thing with a bank of BPFs in SC... how did it compare? have you recreated any of your speech synth in modular? (I am a modular skeptic, but people who are really into it aswell as being adept with SC or MSP or something, make me wonder what I'm missing.)
No, not yet. I did add the option to send CV from my speech sequencer, and the sound from the modular was really special, but I think at some point I broke it somehow and I never bothered fixing it. I only made one brief recording of it as well. Thanks for reminding me, I should get it up and running again! For me it's about the sound.
whats it like as a vocoder :)
@@scottsmith3378 See parts 3 and 5 🙂
Did you mod the a-136?
no.
hi chris! it‘s been a while - aboit 30 years… david (move d, deep space network, source records, heidelberg) here. good to see you‘re still doing it! ✌🏼
👍
Genius
Very nice tones!
crispy
Very cool. That thing really has a lot of good abilities. Good detective work tracking down how to control it.

Love these videos Cylob! Are you doing anything special for clock sync from your computer, so you can multitrack recorded parts? How are you going about recording passes of audio which are in time with your recorded audio?
I start recording just before the track begins in the arrangement, then try to press play on time. Afterwards I shift the recording around until it lines up with the other tracks.
Nice video! Thanks
Those timbres are so good… thanks for sharing!
Excellent, always appreciated your harmonically rich hats!
OK :) I often layer this patch with different settings as well.
How do you deal with latency in your set-up, I mean not just in this patch but in general from comp to ES8 etc... is that even an issue since you are recording the wavs? I'm asking because I want to get ES* module but I think I'm unnecessarily worrying about latency, I sample/resample everything out also and nudge it in place if needed... I've created an unnecessary imaginary issue in my head I think after seeing reviews for the expert sleepers midi to modular interfaces. 🤣
I don't ever think about it. I guess it's low enough. I'm using ES-3 / ES-6 modules anyway, which are just ADAT outputs / inputs.
@@cylobsonicresearch Thanks
Wicked video, Happy you started a channel 💓 One love!
I look forward to seeing more videos from you 🥰❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂
Me too 🙂
Love this - sounds tremendous 😁✔️
It would be amazing to get a few jotted down notes/remembrances from version to version, re: your thought process driving the changes made between each. Honestly, I feel like that’d be an amazing exercise for me to undertake for my own output. Like a post-mortem play-by-play 😅
I think it's best not to be over-analytical. I do enjoy looking back and seeing what decisions were made, for instance between the original bassline, which I ended up keeping, and the alternative one. I can't do a video like this for every track I've made, as they mostly consist of just adding more and more parts rather than changing and rerecording as in this one.
@@cylobsonicresearch gotcha! Yes, compiling a version-to-version review for every “finished” track would be incredibly exhausting, but it’s nice that you have the receipts for a few outliers. Even without commentary, it’s still incredibly interesting. Thanks for putting it together!
